Before the coffee gets cold is about a small Japanese cafe that has a legend. The legend goes that you can go back in time in the cafe but with that legend also comes risks. You have to return to the present before the coffee you got served gets cold.

You follow four visitors of the cafe, each have their own story.

I really recommend it, it’s a cozy and warming read but also a sad one in a good way.

It is currently an trilogy

• Before the coffee gets cold
• Before coffee gets cold: tales from the cafe
• Before your memory fades

However fourth one on its way

• Before we say good bye

They’re all fairly short, about 220 pages each.
